Stephen and I went for a walk with the dog around the "block" this evening. This is one of the views we encountered. I brought my camera in case we came across a moose. This wetland type area is a great environment for moose. They like this setting just like willow trees, which are also among my favorites.

Fall colors, or I should say, the fall color (yellow) is rapidly upon us. It seems like the leaves have changed from green to yellow overnight. It's lovely really. Not the autumn quilt of foliage we viewed in NY or New England, but coupled with the crispness of the air, it still exudes the essence of fall.


Both kids apparently enjoyed the Homecoming Dance. Neither has spoken much about it today. I generally get most of the feedback during the ride home from such an event. But I could hardly keep my eyes open last night, so Stephen was kind enough to pick them up at 11pm. This, however, eliminated my ability to absorb the post-event chatter while the evening's activities were still fresh in their minds. Ah well. C'est la vie.
